Beneath the Pyramids: Egypt's Greatest Secret Uncovered

Beneath the pyramids of Egypt lies a network of catacombs, hewn chambers, and cave tunnels that were lost for nearly 200 years. They have now been rediscovered and explored for the first time by science-and-history writer Andrew Collins. Ever since the age of the pharaohs, stories have circulated concerning the existence beneath the sands of Egypt of a subterranean realm--seen as the tomb of Osiris and as the underworld through which the souls of the deceased must traverse in order to reach an afterlife among the stars. Through the decipherment of long-forgotten notes and plans dating from the early nineteenth century, coupled with astronomical alignments featuring the stars of the Cygnus constellation, Andrew Collins has found the entrance to Giza's hidden cave world--a revelation set to cause one of the greatest controversies since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. In the 1920s it was foretold by American psychic Edgar Cayce that Egypt's lost "Hall of Records" would be found. Cayce's predictions have inspired various attempts to locate the entrance to this hall in the vicinity of the Great Sphinx. Has the entrance to the records been found? What now awaits discovery at Giza, and what exactly does this subterranean realm tell us about the pyramids, their relationship to the stars, and the mythical origins of Egyptian civilization?--Back cover.
